Randy Newman performs at Centrepointe Theatre
With his catchy songs and trademark searing wit, Oscar award-winning singer-songwriter Randy Newman entertained at Centrepointe Theatre March 28.

Newman came off as a humorous, slightly crude yet likeable man.
“I’m going to play all the hits tonight,” he said after his first two songs. “That’s half of them right there.”

Blues duo put their correspondence to music at the NAC
Peter Karp and Sue Foley are a force to be reckoned with. Playing to a full house at the National Arts Centre’s Studio stage March 19, they lit up the room with their lively and passionate blues music.
The duo said they came together, quite unconventionally, after a brief meeting at the Ottawa Bluesfest in 2006. Over the subsequent years, Karp and Foley exchanged letters and emails, many of which have since been adjusted, refined and transformed into songs. These songs make up their first collaborative album: He Said, She Said.
